Bypass turbojet
View Patent ↗A bypass turbojet engine including an outer fan duct and an inner fan duct (IFD), between which the secondary flow passes, and a high pressure compressor having an outer casing is disclosed. The IFD is fastened on the outer casing.
1. A bypass turbojet engine comprising:
an outer fan duct and an inner fan duct between which secondary flow passes; and
a high pressure compressor including an outer casing including an upstream axial portion along bladed disks of the high pressure compressor and a downstream radial portion along an impeller and a diffuser of the high pressure compressor,
wherein the inner fan duct is fastened on the outer casing,
wherein the outer casing carries a plurality of axially symmetrical air-bleed chambers defined by annular ribs, a first upstream chamber being situated apart from the other chambers, the other chambers including a second intermediate chamber and a third downstream chamber,
wherein the first chamber runs along a central segment of the axial portion of the outer casing and is defined by a first radial flange at a downstream end of the first chamber and a first substantially axially extending annular rib,
wherein the second chamber runs along a downstream segment of the axial portion of the outer casing and is defined by a second radial flange at an upstream end of the second chamber, a second substantially axially extending annular rib, and a third annular rib,
wherein the third chamber runs along an upstream segment of the radial portion of the outer casing and is defined by the third annular rib and a fourth annular rib, and
wherein the first radial flange is disposed axially upstream of the second radial flange on the axial portion of the outer casing.
2. A turbojet engine according to claim 1 , wherein the inner fan duct is fastened on a downstream end of the outer casing.
3. A turbojet engine according to claim 1 , wherein the inner fan duct is made essentially out of a metal presenting a ratio of breaking strength to density that is greater than 0.1 MPa·m 3 ·kg −1 .
4. A turbojet engine according to claim 1 , wherein the inner fan duct is made essentially out of titanium.
5. A turbojet engine according to claim 1 , wherein the inner fan duct is bolted to a downstream end of the outer casing.
6. A turbojet engine according to claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate casing extending the outer casing of the high pressure compressor upstream, and wherein the inner fan duct is fastened on a downstream end of said intermediate casing.
7. A turbojet engine according to claim 1 , wherein the high pressure compressor is of the axial-centrifugal type, and wherein the inner fan duct is fastened on the radial portion of the outer casing.
8. A turbojet engine according to claim 7 , wherein the radial portion of the outer casing presents a downstream flange at its end situated downstream, and wherein the inner fan duct is fastened on the downstream flange.
9. A turbojet engine according to claim 1 , wherein an air manifold is provided downstream of the third chamber and faces a downstream end of the radial portion of the outer casing.
10. A bypass turbojet engine comprising:
an outer fan duct and an inner fan duct between which secondary flow passes; and
a high pressure compressor including an outer casing including an upstream axial portion along bladed disks of the high pressure compressor and a downstream radial portion along an impeller and a diffuser of the high pressure compressor,
wherein the inner fan duct is fastened on the outer casing,
wherein the outer casing has three axially symmetrical air-bleed chambers, the three chambers comprising a first upstream chamber separate from the other chambers and extending along a central segment of the axial portion of the outer casing, a second intermediate chamber extending along a downstream segment of the axial portion of the outer casing and spaced apart from the first chamber, and a third downstream chamber adjacent to the second chamber and extending along an upstream segment of the radial portion,
wherein the first chamber is defined by a first radial flange at a downstream end of the first chamber and a first substantially axially extending annular rib,
wherein the second chamber is defined by a second radial flange at an upstream end of the second chamber, a second substantially axially extending annular rib, and a third annular rib,
wherein the third chamber is defined by the third annular rib and a fourth annular rib, and
wherein the first radial flange is disposed axially upstream of the second radial flange on the axial portion of the outer casing.
